ProjectPublic is a free, community-driven platform for sharing step-by-step tech project guides. Whether it's setting up a home server, configuring a network, learning a new tool, or building something useful — anyone can write a guide and anyone can follow one.
The goal is simple: when you figure something out, write it down so the next person doesn't have to start from scratch. Guides are organized into steps, support code blocks, terminal commands, images, videos, and callouts, and are browsable by tags, difficulty, and community votes.
ProjectPublic is free and always will be. There are no ads, no paywalls, and no tracking scripts. If you find it useful and want to support development, you can send a donation via Bitcoin:

You follow any guide entirely at your own risk. Before running commands, changing configurations, or installing software based on a guide, you should independently verify that the instructions are appropriate for your environment. ProjectPublic is not responsible for any damage, data loss, security issues, or other consequences that may result from following community-submitted content.
If you find a guide that contains incorrect, dangerous, or inappropriate content, please use the Report button on the project page to flag it for review.
By using ProjectPublic, you agree to the following:
These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any changes.
ProjectPublic collects the minimum data needed to operate:
ProjectPublic uses privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, and we do not use tracking pixels or advertising networks.
You can delete your account and associated data by contacting us. Publicly posted guides may remain visible after account deletion unless you delete them first.
You retain ownership of the content you post on ProjectPublic. By posting, you grant ProjectPublic a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display and distribute your content on the platform.
If you believe content on ProjectPublic infringes your copyright, please contact us with details of the original work and the infringing content. We will review and remove infringing material promptly.
All new guides go through a review queue before appearing publicly. Moderators check for three things: no spam, no explicit content, and that the guide is on-topic (technology-related). We do not review guides for technical accuracy.
If a guide has been in the queue for more than 48 hours without moderator action, it is automatically published and flagged for later review.
Published guides can be reported by any logged-in user. Reported content is returned to the moderation queue for review.
How do I create a guide?
Log in (or create an account), then click the "New Project" button in the top navigation. You can use the visual editor or switch to markup mode if you prefer writing in plain text.
Why can't I downvote?
Downvoting is available to accounts that are at least 7 days old. This helps prevent abuse from new or throwaway accounts.
Can I edit my guide after publishing?
Yes. You can update your guide at any time from the editor. Edits to published guides take effect immediately without going through the moderation queue again.
How is the feed sorted?
The default "Hot" sort ranks guides by a combination of vote score and recency — newer, well-voted guides rise to the top. You can also sort by "New" (most recent) or "Top" (highest voted, with time range filters).
